Northern Pacific Lands.

The people of Washington who are
said to be on the tracts of land in the
Northern Pacific indemnity belt can not
Interfere with any homestead or pre-
emption rights, but persons who have
bought large tracts OF land from the rail
road company which the com pany did
not own have no recourse except against
the railroad company for the money they
paid, and when they only bought quit
claim deeds, which is understood to be
all the railroad in most cases sold, have
probably no redress at all. Where a man
bought quarter-secaion of land of the
railroad company and is lying on and
cultlvatiDg his ground, he has nothing
to fear from any squatter. Though his
title from the railroad company is worth
less where the company had nothing in
fact to sell, yet he has the right now to
enter his land under the homestead or
presumption law, and % person can limp
his claim. His right of entry is prior
to that of any man who comes along
under the secretary's order restoring 20
lands to the public domain, and attempts
to locate on the lands In other words.
TEE ACTUAL SETTLER
is perfectly secure even if the company
sold him what it did not own, but the
man who bought of the company as an
investment. or bought several thousand
acres for speculation or bonanza farming
is liable to lose his land, and he is not
sure of getting back from the company
the money he paid. The system of in
demnity reservations which was so long
maintained permitted the railroad COM
panies to close to settlement vast areas
of land, none Of which the companies
owned, and a great part of which the
companies might never be able to acquire
by proving losses within the grants. Set
tiers could go on those lands only by con-
sent of the railroad company, and so
the companies made a practice of selling
quitclaim deeds to tracts of these lands.
The companies have got the money. The
purchasers, if settlers, are secure in their
homestead quarter-se ctioDs, but beyond
that the lands belong to the government
and are open to whoever now enters them.
